That is kind of what I thought. Thanks for the input!

<div>
an additional suggestion: if your current parent paths are have the same format, such as<br />
<br />
../dir/include.asp<br />
<br />
you could do a site-wide Search and Replace. I've done this using Notepad++, where you can do a find and replace in files while you specify folder to do it in. Even if the path has different formats depending on the folder, you can still use this technique instead of opening up each file manually and changing the path.<br />
<br />
either way, good luck!

I have some Classic ASP files that provide e-commerce functions to a number of websites hosted on the same server. They are basically reusable chunks of code, stored in one location rather than copying over and over again for each website, in case I need to make changes or add functionality to all the websites.<br />
<br />
On our server, I include these files using parent paths.<br />
<br />
We are migrating to a newer IIS server. Parent paths are turned off by default. I realize I can turn them on, but wondering if there is a better way to include my ASP scripts, rather than using parent paths. If parent paths are a security concern, what is the best way to insert code into a local website's scripts?<br />
<br />
Thank you.

Alternative to parent paths on Windows Server using Classic ASP?

Active Server Pages (ASP) is Microsoft’s first server-side engine for dynamic web pages. ASP’s support of the Component Object Model (COM) enables it to access and use compiled libraries such as DLLs. It has been superseded by ASP.NET, but will be supported by Internet Information Services (IIS) through at least 2022.

Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2008 R2, based on the Microsoft Vista codebase, is the last 32-bit server operating system released by Microsoft. It has a number of versions, including including Foundation, Standard, Enterprise, Datacenter, Web, HPC Server, Itanium and Storage; new features included server core installation and Hyper-V.
